Ex- Lawmakers Adopt Mbah As Consensus Candidate

Former members of the state Enugu State House of Assembly have adopted Governor Peter Mbah as consensus candidate for next year’s governorship election in the state.

Several groups, including Tricycle operators Association in Enugu, had recently endorsed the governor as their sole governorship candidate ahead of the election.

The former legislators made their position known at a press conference in Enugu yesterday.

The briefing took place at the end of a strategic engagement hosted by Rt. Hon. Paul Nnajiofor, the special adviser to Governor Mbah on legislative matters.

Operating under the Banner of Association of Former Legislators of Enugu state House of Assembly (AELESHA), the forum expressed satisfaction with what the governor Mbah led administration has done in all sectors of the state economy since assumption of office.

The meeting Tagged: ‘Standing Together For Good Governance, A Time Like This: Peter Mbah’s Administration As a Case Study’ is the Second phase, 3rd, 4th, 5th Sessions 2023-2015.

Speaking with newsmen at the end of the meeting, the convener, Rt. Hon. Nnajiofor, who was a two time member of the House, said, “It is a kind of strategic engagement with members of the Enugu State House of Assembly who served in various sessions of the House.

“This is the second edition, the first engagement was in April, during which His Excellency engaged with first, second, third members of the house of Assembly who served between 1999 and 2003, then after some moment, he directed me to be meeting with them .

‘It is my own idea, they are stakeholders in their own right even though they are no longer serving in the state house of Assembly, with the Hallmark of experience they have, we cannot ignore them, as far as state building is concerned. They have the experience, they have those who are loyal to them.”
